The East Allen County Schools School Board has been recognized by the Indiana School Boards Association (ISBA) with an Exemplary Governance Award (EGA) for calendar year 2025 for demonstrating an outstanding commitment to student success and professional learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The East Allen County Schools School Board is one of only 120 school boards in the State of Indiana to earn an award through the EGA program this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EGAs are conferred annually across four levels of distinction based on the points earned by school board members for attending ISBA seminars, workshops, conferences, and other learning events, as well as the completion of certain additional criteria, such as a retreat with an outside facilitator and goal setting to elevate student achievement outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of ISBA, I would like to commend this dedicated group of school boards and school board members,\u201d said ISBA Executive Director Terry Spradlin. \u201cSchool boards perform a vital public service for their communities, and board members who actively participate in professional learning are better equipped to govern effectively and meet the needs of students.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Award recipients were formally recognized at ISBA\u2019s Spring Regional Meetings during the month of April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are proud to celebrate these school boards for their exceptional leadership in the pursuit of excellence in education,\u201d said ISBA President Steve Corona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the board-level accolades, 314 school board members earned individual EGA awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISBA provides a full range of professional learning opportunities at dozens of events throughout the year to inform and educate school board members about governance best practices, legislative issues, policy development, school law, and more. More than 115 hours of professional development were available from ISBA for members in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
